Menu Link Problem (Using Sothink DHTLMmenu builder or not)

How can I get the menu links in the top frame to open in the bottom frame?

I tried to delete my post from another section to paste in here but it wouldn't let me so here is the same post:

Hello, anyone use Sothink DHTMLmenu builder?

In the IE browswer the top and bottom frames appear normal but when I click a link in the menu in the top frame, the:

1. Bottom frame does not load the link or page.
2. It opens the page link and the bottm frame is fine but the menu is missing in the top frame.
3. The page loads in the top frame where the menu is located, leaving the original bottom frame in place.

In summary: When I click on a menu link in the top frame, the bottom frame does not change nor does a new page open with the top and bottom frames. A new page will open with the bottom frame only or the link page will open in the top frame.

Question: How can I get the menu links to open in the bottom frame?

Sorry you've been ignored for so long. Whether you use a pre-fab dHTML menu or not, the way to have a link in one frame open a new document in another frame requires two simple steps:

1. name="foo"
The frame where the new document will load must have a name assigned using this kind of attribute. You place it within the appropriate frame element on the frameset page.

2. target="foo"
Then the anchor element in the menu frame needs a target attribute that points at to correct frame name
